Researchers at NASA's Johnson Space Center have developed a software tool that tracks and manages hazardous commands, associated hazard reports, and restricted commands. The tool currently provides configuration management for more than 30,000 entries for the International Space Station (ISS) and maintains various comments and information captured about each hazardous command. The database allows users to ask queries that enable trending analyses that are useful in identifying data inconsistencies. The software automates the task of comparing large data sets against previously stored data sets, facilitating the immediate identification of any data changes or additions. Analysis can be completed in minutes using this software versus the hours or days associated with other applications.
